Charles Richey Needs Help

By: Jay & Francy Thompson REALTORS®

Hey folks, boy have I been remiss about posting on Relib!

I come here with sad news.

Charles Richey is in the ICU in a Vegas hospital with Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

If you've been around Point2 for awhile, you may remember Charles and his wife Jacqui -- they had a wonderful Point2 site and Charles was very giving of information on the Point2 forums.

Now he needs some help. He's probably going to be OK, but days in the ICU are **expensive** and like many agents, they have no health insurance.

You can read more about Charles and his situation on my blog, which includes a link to make a donation.

I know times are rough for a lot of agents right now, but even a few dollars can really help...

I know this isn't really the kind of post that belongs on Relib, but I hope the mods can at least leave it up for a little while....

Please keep Charles and Jacqui in your thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear this.  Trust me I have been there with the health crisis which also caused a financial crisis.  It's awful.  Make sure they know to talk to the hospital patient advocate and apply for charity care, not just for the hospital bill, but for the separate doctor bills.  They may only cover part of it, depending on the last years income, but every little bit helps, right?   Also make sure that they know, that if he's not working, he doesn't get vacation pay, or any pay for that matter.

My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

This is a good reason for us to really get on the horn with NAR and push for those Association health plans!
